Bob Dylan - Rank Strangers To Me (Song)

The Gorillaz - Every Planet We Reach Is Dead (Song)
Every Planet We Reach Is Dead is a song by The Gorillaz which appears on their album Demon Days. The track opens up with a rhythm that I think could best described as fairly lazy. I also do not mean to use this term in a negative connotation here, …
Wild Mood Swings, 1996 Album by The Cure
I think that this album is very interesting. I think that this album is significantly underestimated. I personally find many ways in which this album is more interesting than the 1992 release called Wish.
I remember how I first got acquainted with this album. I was told by a friend …

Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath is my all time favorite band. I own EVERY Black Sabbath album which Ozzy Osbourne features on, and many Vinyl’s I still have in my attic of some of the most legendary songs and records of all time. They are the true pioneers of Heavy Metal, and …
Lady Antebellum: A Merry Little Christmas (EP)
Lady Antebellum has been my favorite country music group for going on a year now. I have watched their career sky rocket since the release of their 2009 CD, Need You Now. Now they have given me, and their millions and other fans the best Christmas present ever.
Their …
The Grateful Dead - Workingman’s Dead
Overview - Workingman’s Dead, The Grateful Dead’s forth effort, strays extremely far away from the more psychedelic sound that the band developed on Aoxomoxoa and Anthem Of The Sun for a much more folk rock and even country sound. Although there’s a huge change in sound, the band honestly …
Death Cab For Cutie - Your Bruise (Song)
Your Bruise is a song by Death Cab For Cutie which appears on their debut record, Something About Airplanes. Opening up with a repeating and simple guitar pattern, the song establishes a pretty brooding atmosphere which the vocals thankfully take advantage of with a vocal delivery that is both …

Green Day - Welcome To Paradise (Song)
Welcome To Paradise, one of Green Day’s most well known songs is a track which appears on Dookie. Aside from the tracks which are on American Idiot then I’d actually probably say that Welcome To Paradise, or Longview, would be the most well known Green Day song, and with …
Metallica - The Thing That Should Not Be
Overview —“ The Thing That Should Not Be is the third track on Metallica’s record Master Of Puppets and is quite a different track in sound compared to the first two: Battery and Master Of Puppets. Whereas Battery and Master Of Puppets were extremely fast songs, The Thing That …
Rock N’ Roll Mcdonalds
Wesley Willis is one of those weird musicians that I’ve heard. He was a guy who made random albums over a five year period using mostly keyboard sampling. There pretty funny because most of them sound similar and they use beats that sound the same. He also uses …
Lonely Pup by Adam Faith
I love this song and first heard it a few years back at Christmas time from a CD comprising of 101 Christmas songs. Little did I know it was sung back in 1960! But the song itself is so cute and I was hooked immediately when I heard it.
The …
What about Love (song) from Heart
Aside from Total Eclipse by Bonnie Tyler and Alone by Heart, this is one of those powerful songs that you can sing as an audition piece or your bullet to winning a singing contest. This songs sounds serious and it makes me proud that most of Filipino Singers can …
Tiger In Your Tank by MonkeyJunk

“Nobody’s Fool”
Performer: Cinderella

Eminem - Love The Way You Lie - Music Video and Single
I think this is another great effort from Eminem and it had a great music video to go with it. Most men would love this simply because he has used both Megan Fox and Rhianna in this video but there are deeper meanings for those who wish to look.
Eminem …
Barbra Streisand: Till I Loved You CD
I really do love Barbra Streisand: Till I Loved You CD, but the one thing I think of every time I listen to it is, ‘What the heck was she thinking?’ It all stems from the title song, a really wonderful, powerful yet tender love song called Till …
Heroes del Silencio - Avalancha - Album
Heroes del Silencio has been the greatest spanish rock band and their last album, titled “Avalancha”, may be the very best they ever released. With this album, Heroes decided to go for a more aggressive sound, staying away from the gothic style they have builded up on their previous …
The potion
The Potion by Ludacris is a song that has an awesome beginning and I like it a lot. The songs words are a little bit weird but me and my friends love it. The song is most definitely different than most. This song is off of step up 2 …
Forever and Ever Amenorever
Forever and Ever Amen by Randy Travis is a great love song about couple getting married. It tells a story about how they used to be wild in their younger days and now they are wondering if they can be faithful to each other forever and ever. It reminds …
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat CD
This CD is the original Canadian cast recording of the stage play Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond in the lead. In many ways, this play was Donny’s vindication from being raked over the coals years before by critics. As Joseph, he excelled, received …

Let There Be More Light is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their album A Saucerful Of Secrets. The track opens up with a nice distinct guitar riff and also some keyboards coming in behind it which gives the track this very psychedelic sound to it, the …
Plan - Stay Too Long - Single
Stay Too Long, for me , shows the more upbeat side of Plan B’s nature. If you think he only does down beat or deep stuff this is a real head lightener for you. It’s bright from the start and dare I say it, chirpy and catchy.
It’s one of …
Neutral Milk Hotel - Untitled (Song)
Untitled is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the penultimate track on their second release, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Something I should point out about this song is that it’s an instrumental, but ever since listening to The Fool, another instrumental earlier on this record, …
City of Joy soundtrack CD
In my top five of Patrick Swayze films is City of Joy, the story of a suicidal young doctor (okay, they edited the suicidal part out of the released film, but that’s who he was) who travels to India and ends up being rejuvenated. It’s a marvelous film …
Metallica - Suicide And Redemption (Song)
Suicide And Redemption, Metallica’s fourth instrumental of their career and penultimate track on Death Magnetic, is similar to The Unforgiven III in the sense that it has some truly brilliant parts but also some parts which just aren’t so good. I’ll start with my complaints against the track. My …
Sheryl Crow Detours
Sheryl Crow’s sixth studio album, Detours, reflects globally and on Crow herself. Crow’s lyrics are maternal, religious, hopeful and at times political. Spaced between them are monotonous “oh”s and “yeah yeah yeah”s (good example in “Gasoline”). Disappointingly, this album does not show Crow’s powerful, playful vocals made her a …
Empire of the Sun: Fantastic Debut Albumn
I have just bought the new Empire of the Sun album, after having heard their debut single, ‘Walking on a Dream’. Now, having listened to the whole album a few times I am even more hooked on their style and lyrics. I will try to give my impression …
My Life (the Game, featuring Lil Wayne)
I am kind of getting tired of hearing songs and seeing videos by rappers who are talking about how tough their lives are in the hood. The reason is that so many rappers and hip-hop artists believe that being from the streets requires a certain type of …
Soulja Boy
I hear so much hype over Soulja boy. So many little kids run around singing, that “hop up out the bed song”, including my little cousins. At first I liked Soulja Boy, ever since he came out with his first song, “Crank that Soulja Boy”. I liked the beat …
Killswitch Engage The End Of Heartache
The End Of Heartache is Killswitch Engage’s third album, second album on Roadrunner Records, and first album to feature vocalist Howard Jones as Jesse Leach’s replacement. The album was released in 2004, and like the last 2 albums was again produced by drummer Adam Dutkiewicz. If you are looking …
Vampire Weekend - White Sky (Song)
White Sky is a song by Vampire Weekend which appears on their second record, Contra. The song opens up with the very playful sound that I have come to associate with Vampire Weekend. The vocals for the first verse come in with a fairly catchy vocal melody, but there …
The Best Damn Thing, studio album by Avril Lavigne
I sat and listened to all of these tracks, all twelve of them. Almost fifty minutes of my life was put into this album just so I could write a review. I could have used these fifty minutes playing some Xbox 360 game, gaining achievement points. In these fifty …
The Rolling Stones - Grown Up Wrong (Song)
Grown Up Wrong is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record The Rolling Stones No. 2. The track opens up with a lightly distorted guitar riff along with the drums joining in which gives the song sort of a blues-like rhythm although to no major …

Jefferson Airplane - Crazy Miranda (Song)
Crazy Miranda is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on the album Bark. The track starts out in a very melancholy fashion with a piano primarily leading the track with Grace Slick joining in with the vocals. I’m not exactly sure, but to be completely honest, I think …
Bob Dylan - Down The Highway (Song)
Down The Highway is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his second record, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. This track opens up with a clear blues inspired guitar pattern and just the fashion Dylan sings the lyrics makes it clear that this song will be heavily blues influenced. …
Kid Cudi (rapper)
A coworker of mine hipped me to this guy. I had never heard of him. But as soon as I took a listen to his lead single “Day n Nite” I was immediately hooked. This rapper is from Cleveland; and I have the feeling that …
Funeral by Arcade Fire
This truly is an astonishing debut. Arcade Fire are a group of ten canadian musicians led by Win Butler and his wife Regine. They include amongst their ranks, pianists, violinist and harp players. Clearly this is not your average rock group and yet when they play live, they invest …
David Guetta (Musician)
The musician David Guetta is one of my favourite EDM Disc Jockeys. Even though he’s been around from the early 2000s, I only took notice of him when I really got into Electronic Dance Music in 2010 or 2011. He’s become one of my favourites because I find his mixes …
Nas - I Gave You Power (song)
“I Gave You Power” is the 4th track off of Nas 1996 album “It Was Written”. Although this song isn’t technically a single, it is one of the more well known tracks off of “It Was Written”. This is one of the best songs to exemplify just how well …
Eminem - My Name Is - Single
Without question, not Eminems best track and yet it remains a classic, why? Because My Name Is was the track that seemed to really announce Eminem on the world stage.
It wasn’t his first song or from his first album but it was the one that captured peoples attention and …
